I’D BE AN OUTLAW
- I’D be an outlaw brave and bold
- Rather than have a house of gold!
- Better than learning rules and verbs
- To be a wild witch charming herbs,
- But ah! indeed we’re always told
- Men do not now as once of old:—
- And she’s the truest heroine
- Whose heart is steadfast and serene,
- Who does not grumble, but sits still
- And learns her lessons with a will:—
- This is the best, the only way
- To grow brave for some greater day!
